[Jabos]

Good stuff, Jaunty :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Let me chime in too Jaunty-great looking. How lucky we are to have Art around, huh? "Hey Art, make me one just like THAT" and there it is!:eusa_clap

Never take it off my head for long enough for anyone to get to question whose hat it is...

Thanks! We sure are lucky to have Art, who is dedicated to making custom hats affordable enough for the common man. His work is outstanding; I'm thrilled with my objets d'Art!

 

[Art Fawcett]

Thank you Jauntyone...makes a grown man blush!!!

Honestly Guy's, you have no idea how much fun this work is for me and as long as I can keep the prices where many can participate, I get to make more hats. So you see, this is all about me

God save the Queen's hat!

I have a slight problem that does not quite seem to merit its own thread, but that pertains to a hat made by Mister Fawcett, so I have elected to post it here:

Earlier today I decided that as the weather has become reliably cool, I should bring The Sesquipedalian out of its box to join The Selcouth, which I had brought out several weeks ago. Shortly after I took it out of its box, I eagerly began to put it onto my head and as I did, I tugged on the front and rear of the brim to pull it onto my head. As I did this, I thought that I heard a subtle, single pop and as I began to ponder that, I noticed that the ribbon had sagged and wrinkled at the front and upon further inspection there was a sagging wrinkle at the back as well. The whole ribbon seems loose around the crown, although I have not tested this too much, for fear of worsening whatever has happened.

My only guess is that I might have caused some stitches to burst when pulling it onto my head, but I know too little about the construction of hats to say.

Can anyone say what has gone wrong and how I should go about having the hat mended? Is it safe to wear the hat even so?

I can't really afford to send it to anyone or pay any repair fees at present, but within a few month, surely will, so I want to know in advance how I should best act.

There was a time that you could have taken to you neighborhood hatter and have fixed up. But that is not true anymore. I would save your nickels and send it to Art. I can't say for sure, but it does sound like you pulled loose some threads holding the ribbon on. I doubt it would be an expensive repair.

 

[kaosharper1]

Email Art directly. I'm sure he'd answer and give you an estimate.

 

[Art Fawcett]

Send it out as soon as you can Sir & I'll take care of it. Your suspicions are most likely correct in that you popped a few stitches.

My latest work of 'Art'

This is a bit late as I have been quite busy recently, but here are some pictures of the latest work of Art I received for my birthday.

5 1/2" crown, 2 5/8" brim Blue Smoke with matching ribbon and edge binding.

Thanks again Art, this is another show-stopping creation that has garnered quite a few comments the few times I have worn it.

 

[kaosharper1]

Another classic. Need a noggin shot.

 

[handlebar bart]

I really like that one. The blue isn't showing up well on my screen, but I can imagine how well it looks in person with the red accent. It be nice to see an outside shot..............with the noggin of course

 

[StylinLA]

Very nice...love the red splash on the ribbon.

I posted this in the "new hats" thread, but figured it should go here as well.

Looks great on you.:eusa_clap

 

[Jabos]

GClark, that Strat clone looks terrific. Isn't that natural color just beautiful? Could we get a pic looking down on it to see the ribbon? :eusa_clap

Also, hats off to your wife for getting you such a thoughtful gift!!! Aaahem. . . (hello Mrs. Jabos-are you listening?)

 

[Jabos]

Hey Art, the masses are chanting:

We Want Oxblood! We Want Oxblood! We Want Oxblood!

You might see this link if an explanation is needed:

Oxblood

Thank you for being such a good sport, and I hope I am not putting you in too awkward a position to discuss a competitor's color/product.

Sincerely, from one of your most devoted fans!
